Joe Biden says he’d want MichelleObama to be his running mate

Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden this week reaffirmed his desire to have former first lady Michelle Obama be his running mate. “I sure would like Michelle [Obama] to be the vice president,” Biden said Tuesday at a campaign stop in Muscatine, Iowa. The comment came after the former vice president was asked if he would consider nominating former President Barack Obama to the Supreme Court. “Yeah, I would, but I don’t think he’d do it. He’d be a great Supreme Court justice,” Biden responded.(Snip) Biden responded: “They’re both incredibly qualified people and they’re such decent, honorable people.” The pairing would be a first

Bite Me cannot stand on his own-- he is constantly trying to name-drop the Nobamas and ride on their coat tails.
So much corruption and influence peddling issues surround the man who cannot even keep his stump speeches straight--
Could it be that virtually all of the DEFLECTION campaign against Mr. Trump is to keep from digging into the corruption of this man, and by extension, HOW MANY other things could be looked into and WHERE and HOW FAR would it go?
Lots of ROTTEN stuff being covered for, and people want to know-- this whole CHARADE is going to fall apart, and the Nobamas are not going to be taken down by associating with ex VP Biden

If she could figure out a way to slip a little hemlock into his taco, she might consider it.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Georgia, Stacey whatshername is searching for the Twinkies as she sobs… She mighta been a contenduh with pander bear Joe.

The ones who should object the most are America's school children. They would be switched from PT school lunches of pizza and cheeseburgers to the Mooch's choice of eggplant, kale, arugula, and Brussel sprouts.

I wish I had dated the first comment I made about the upcoming Bide/Obama ticket.
1. Mooch does not HAVE TO PRIMARY WITH ANYBODY.
2. Mooch WILL play second fiddle BECAUSE
Joe goes into history as a president.
Joe has "health issues and resigns.
BINGO The FIRST BLACK WOMAN PRESIDENT. Eat that Hillary. They don't like her any more than we do.
3. The scary part is it could work just on the novelty value. Might be a way to get Joe past the Bernie bros.

Barack would be a great choice for the Supreme Court.
I pan to read every one of his law review articles, and those articles published when he was a law profe3ssor.
(what? Don't waste my time looking, because he published nothing? Nada? Zip? Zilch? Then how is it that he was president of the Harvard Law Review?
Are you sure he did nothing? Published nothing? Really?)
never mind.

What shameless BS. If Biden were to go before BHO and lick his shoes and then sit up and beg for his endorsement it might be more effective.
But then, maybe not. The one thing about Obama - he is not stupid, and he has Biden's number down cold.

An 18-year-old car-jacker who left a young woman partially blind in one eye following a hammer attack as he tried to steal her Audi has been jailed for nine years. Majid Ali repeatedly struck Blythe Mason-Boyle across the head before taking her Audi A1 from Coventry Road, Sheldon, Birmingham, in March last year. The 24-year-old victim suffered cuts to her face and a fractured eye socket shortly after leaving a gym. West Midlands Police have shared a shocking image of her injuries following the sentencing of Ali. Miss Mason-Boyle now struggles to see clearly through one eye

A Long Island man arrested after a fatal drunken wreck Jan. 12 bragged to cops, “The laws changed, I’ll be out tomorrow,” thanks to new bail reform measures, prosecutors said Thursday. Jordan Randolph, 40, who did walk free the next day, also told cops the deadly crash was “just a DWI.” Details of the boozy bust were revealed Thursday as Randolph was hit with a 24-count indictment for vehicular manslaughter, aggravated vehicular homicide and a slew of other charges in the crash that killed 27-year-old Jonathan Flores-Maldonado. “As Jonathan Flores was left taking his last breaths and dying, this defendant was hurling expletives

Prince Harry has lost an Ipso complaint over a Mail on Sunday story that revealed he had photos taken with a 'drugged and tethered' elephant. The Duke of Sussex complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation saying the paper had breached Clause 1 of its Editors' Code of Practice, 'Accuracy', regarding the article published on April 28 last year. Harry had posted wildlife pictures on the Sussex Royal Instagram page for Earth Day—images used by The Mail on Sunday for a story with the headline: 'Drugged and tethered… what Harry didn't tell you about those awe-inspiring wildlife photos'.

Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg ignited a backlash on Twitter, particularly among people of color, after he claimed that the country’s next president needed to embody the values of “the American Heartland.” “In the face of unprecedented challenges, we need a president whose vision was shaped by the American Heartland rather than the ineffective Washington politics we’ve come to know and expect,” Mr. Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, tweeted to his 1.6 million followers Wednesday afternoon. As of Thursday morning, the tweet racked up only 1,300 retweets and a whopping 10,600 replies, with some users accusing Mr. Buttigieg of casual racism

Hillary Clinton has now twice snubbed a process server attempting to deliver the defamation lawsuit filed against her by Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, according to Gabbard’s attorney. “I find it rather unbelievable that Hillary Clinton is so intimidated by Tulsi Gabbard that she won’t accept service of process,” the congresswoman’s attorney, Brian Dunne, told The Post. “But I guess here we are.” Dunne said their process server first attempted to effect service at the Clinton’s house in Chappaqua Tuesday afternoon—but was turned away by Secret Service agents. The agents directed the server to the Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, who on Wednesday claimed

Amazon’s smart doorbell company Ring may be using its app to surveil users, a report from the Electronic Frontier Foundation revealed on Wednesday. The “Ring for Android” app shares user data including names, private IP addresses, mobile network carriers and sensor data with a number of third-party trackers, the investigation found. At least four analytics and marketing companies receive such information from customer devices.(Snip)
Every time a customer opens the Ring app, it sends information to Facebook about the user, including the time zone, device model, language preferences, screen resolution, and a unique identifier, the report found. It also sends information

John Bolton, during a 2005 Senate confirmation process, was accused by a female government contractor of harassing 'her relentlessly,' chasing her around a hotel, criticizing her weight and 'hinting' she was a lesbian. Melody Townsel described his behavior in a 2005 letter to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when he was under consideration for the UN Ambassador position. 'Mr. Bolton proceeded to chase me through the halls of a Russian hotel—throwing things at me, shoving threatening letters under my door and, generally, behaving like a madman,' she wrote.(Snip) Bolton left the Bush administration under a cloud.

Six suspected drug dealers who are accused of running a $7 million fentanyl distribution operation out of a Bronx apartment were released without bail under the state’s new criminal justice law early Wednesday. The suspects—Livo Valdez, Jaslin Baldera, Frederick Baldera, Frandi Ledema, Diego Tejada and Parfraimy Antonio—were arrested Monday when officers with the New York Drug Enforcement Task Force raided an apartment on Sedgwick Avenue in Kingsbridge that was allegedly used as a heroin and fentanyl packaging mill.(Snip) Hundreds of thousands of the envelopes packed with the powder were spread across two tables and overflowing from boxes in the apartment, authorities said.

Walfrie Eliseo Camposeco-Montejo’s pitch to the Guatemalan woman was simple: Let me use your son to get into the U.S., and I promise I’ll send him to American schools. The ailing woman liked the idea. She gave her 12-year-old to Camposeco-Montejo, and they struck off for the U.S. in late 2016 just as another border crisis was developing. Arrested by Border Patrol agents, Camposeco-Montejo used a bogus birth certificate to claim he was the father of the boy and was given the catch-and-release treatment under the “family loophole” in U.S. policy. The boy never made it to school.

Four in five women could be missing out on higher wages due to not negotiating pay when applying for jobs, and half of female employees think they are being underpaid, a study has found. The research, conducted by employment law specialists Slater and Gordon, found 70 per cent of those women who ask for more money from their employers receive a proportion or all of the amount they ask for. This contradicts previous studies which have found that when women ask for a pay rise they are less likely to get one than men. Campaigners argue employers often victimise women who complain about equal pay.

A homeless man faces murder and arson charges in the death of beloved Brooklyn philanthropist L. Antonio Litman. Police on Tuesday arrested Dondre Richardson, 33, who lives in a shelter on Wards Island, charging him in Litman’s Jan. 20 slaying. Firefighters found Litman’s body after responding to a fire at his four-story brownstone on Adelphi St. near Dekalb Ave. in Fort Greene. He had suffered puncture wounds to his neck and chest before the fire, authorities said.(Snip) Litman is the founder of Virginia’s House of Hope, which states it has distributed school supplies, food, clothing and educational toys to more than 10,000

House impeachment manager Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) repeatedly told the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump on Wednesday night that the House case was “proven beyond any doubt at all.”Nadler’s odd, and repeated, claim seemed to undermine claims by Democrats that they needed to see more witnesses and documents in the trial. The House Judiciary Committee chairman played an unusually understated role in the first day of the question-and-answer session in the Senate.
Republicans have asked that if Democrats are so confident in their case

Chief Justice John Roberts doesn't seem to have the judicial acumen of a traffic court judge. (snip) If the chief justice had instructed the House managers to stop committing perjury, then perhaps their posturing in calling witnesses to get at the truth may have been be more credible. If there is no penalty for perjury, then why have any witnesses? So far, this entire impeachment is just more D.C. political blustering and fake news reporting theater of the absurd that Americans hate at so many levels.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) made a bizarre announcement at a campaign stop in Iowa last Sunday, telling the crowd that, when she selects her cabinet, she’ll only consider candidates for the Secretary of Education who have taught in public schools, and the final candidate will only take office after passing an interview with a “young trans person.”One of the attendees at Warren’s weekend stop in Cedar Rapids asked the Massachusetts Senator and hopeful 2020 Democratic presidential nominee whether she would support more education on LGBT and transgender issues for school-aged children. In response, Warren suggested that LGBT and transgender issues

On Tuesday, Trump tweeted photos of a briefing he'd received on the new coronavirus spreading out of China.
"We will continue to monitor the ongoing developments," the President said in his post. "We have the best experts anywhere in the world, and they are on top of it 24/7!"
Who are these experts? They're largely the same sorts of white men (and a couple women on the sidelines) who've dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning.

It was the late 1880s in the city of Rajkot, India. The meeting was to take place on the banks of the local river – and discretion was essential. Mahatma Gandhi, who was just a teenager at the time, hadn’t told his parents where he was going; if they had found out, they would have been shocked to death.
As it happens, Gandhi was having a picnic. And on this occasion, India’s future national hero – and one of the most famous vegetarians in history – wasn’t planning to dine on cucumber sandwiches. No, for the first time in his life, he was going to eat meat.

There's a great line from the movie I, Robot that often springs to mind when it comes to politicians. (snip) "You are the dumbest smart person I know!"
"Dumbest smart person" should be engraved on an award. Mitt Romney and the three other Republicans considering calling witnesses in President Trump's impeachment trial would be the final four.
Clearly, Romney, Collins, Murkowski, and Alexander are all smart people. They're successful. They've managed to get elected to the Senate. Romney himself is a near-billionaire in his own right. But they are willfully blind to the obvious-to-everyone-else tactics of the Democrats.

One year after filing for bankruptcy, PG&E has worked out deals to borrow money and guarantee more than $25 billion in payouts to wildfire victims, insurers and local municipalities. It’s even come to terms with bondholders. As a result, its shares have skyrocketed 37 percent so far in January. Mizuho upgraded the stock this week to a “buy.” That optimism may be premature. (Snip) And he kept repeating this threat: “There’s going to be a new company or the state of California takes it over.” Newsom revealed he’s been working on a plan for six months to take over the

Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, one of the House impeachment managers, argued Thursday that Democrats’ hiring of a former British spy to collect dirt from Russian sources about the Trump campaign does not constitute foreign interference in the 2016 presidential election.The New York congressman’s argument was based on the puzzling logic that Democrats paid for the information from the retired spy, Christopher Steele, rather than simply obtaining it.“The analogy is not applicable to the present situation

A civil rights group is calling on Roman Catholic church leaders to reject a sermon in which a Minnesota priest described Islam as a threat to the U.S. and Christianity.
The Rev. Nick VanDenBroeke is pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception in the small town of Lonsdale.
He said during a Jan. 5 sermon that large numbers of Muslims should not be allowed to seek asylum or immigration to the U.S.
The homily that was posted for the public on the church's website has since been deleted.
"I believe it is essential it is to consider the religion and the world view of the immigrants or refugees.

Republican House candidate Pierce Bush, the grandson of late President George H.W. Bush, has fully embraced President Trump as part of his campaign platform.
In a crowded race with at least 14 other candidates vying to fill the seat of retiring Rep. Pete Olson (R-Texas), Bush has decided to highlight his support of the current president — instead of putting a focus on his own family dynasty.
“[Trump’s accomplishments are] hard to argue with,” Bush told “Fox & Friends” during an appearance Wednesday morning.
“He is a strong fighter for our nation’s national security,” Bush said, adding, “The most important job a president has is keeping our country safe and defending our liberties

Former Vice President Joe Biden cut into President Trump's character in an Iowa address that was meant to serve as an opening punch before the president headlines a Des Moines rally Thursday night. Biden called out Trump for a laundry list of things: lying, dog-whistling racists, trying to scrap Obamacare - even being mean to climate activist Greta Thunberg.
'Welcome to Donald Trump's world: up is down, lies are the truth, allies are enemies, everything is through the looking glass,' Biden told a crowd gathered in a school gym in a Des Moines suburb. Biden made no mention of impeachment. He previously said his role in the impeachment saga

This is a winning strategy.
Joe Biden, 77, told an Iowa crowd that he needs a strong Vice President because he’s old and may die in office.
“Whomever I pick” for VP, must “be capable of being president, because I’m an old guy — no I’m serious!” Biden said.
Cringe.
Biden also said there’s “8 women and least 4 or 5 people of color” that he believes are “totally qualified” to be his vice president.
Old Joe also said earlier this week that he would like to have Michelle Obama has his running mate.
